<div>Congratulations on a job well done! You have put in the work, persevered through some rough spots, enjoyed the moments of others. You have made some life long friends and coworkers. You have made connections with your students and inspired them to learn more. ATA members are the hardest working teachers in the state, proudly, and we welcome you to our ranks. Our members are what makes our union strong and we know you have just made us a stronger unit. Normally many of us would be there to celebrate with you at the meeting. We'll have a celebration later on when it is safe.</div></div></div></div></div>Mon, 13 Apr 2020 16:00:20 +0000birchy82953 at https://amityvilleteachers.orgDisability Protectionhttps://amityvilleteachers.org/updates/disability-protection

<div>Below is a letter that will be sent to our elected officials pressuring them to follow the guidelines of numerous other states and close all schools. The letter is being signed by a number of local union Presidents from across Long Island. We are working hard to put the pressure on our elected officials to ensure that our teachers, staff, and most importantly students are not put in a dangerous or life threatening situation. At this time of hysteria it is important that we remain calm, that is what our profession warrants.
